Ronaldo has only scored two goals in the La Liga, but already has eight goals in the Champions League.

And Kovacic has no doubt that the Portuguese will once again bang in the goals for Madrid.

“Me and the rest of my team-mates, we see Cristiano as always in good shape,” the Croatia international said.

“He’s the best player in the world and he has already scored many goals this season and he will score way more goals for sure.

“At the moment the ball is not willing to go in, but as I said before, this is football and sometimes the ball doesn’t want to get in the goal, but there’s still time left until the end and he will score way more as usual.”
